As the project is Automatic Lego sorting machine
This textbook is a good reference for helping in building
the project because it has lot of details regarding the materials, springs, and gears, which can
help in the project. As the project will sort the Legos so materials will help in understanding the
best materials for the Legos and identify the stress, materials can bear which are perfect to use
for Legos, springs will use to move the Legos from one place to another place, gears will also
help in moving the Legos for sorting them.
In materials, material strength and stiffness is useful to select the best material for the Lego
because the Legos must be strong enough to bear any external force or if drop down then don’t
get broken

7. State of the Art Review
How I Built an Artificial Intelligence to Sort 2 Tons of Lego Pieces
A software that is able to reliably classify across the entire range of parts in the market.
Making sure the pictures were correctly labeled.
Store 90% of the correctly labeled.
